Undergraduate Prospectus 2013 - University of Winchester

Applying for undergraduate study
Choosing which university to apply
to will be one of the most important
decisions of your life – and help is
at hand. Before submitting your
application, you are welcome to visit us
by coming to an Open Day or arranging
a Campus Tour (see page 24 for more
information) and our Course Enquiries
and Applications team will answer any
questions you have about applying to
Winchester.
How do I apply?
All applications for full-time study to
UK universities and colleges of higher
education are made through the
Universities and Colleges Admissions
Service (UCAS). Applications are made
online, by visiting www.ucas.com and
clicking on ‘Apply’. Full instructions are
available on the UCAS website.
If you are applying for a course at the
University of Winchester, you will need to
make sure that you enter the course code
names and numbers correctly. All of the
UCAS course codes are listed, along with
the entry requirements, on pages 170-174.
The institution code for the University
of Winchester is W76. We do not have
campus codes.
International students can apply direct to
the University if Winchester is the only
institution they wish to apply to.
When do I apply?
UCAS can start receiving applications for
entry in autumn 2013 (or deferred entry in
autumn 2014) from 1 September 2012. The
closing date for the receipt of applications
is 15 January 2013. You are advised to
apply to the University as early as possible.
It is in the best interests of all applicants
to apply before the 15 January deadline.
While late applications are accepted by
UCAS throughout the remainder of the
application year, the University reserves
the right to consider these at their
discretion and no guarantee can be made
that they will be given the same level of
consideration as applications received prior
to the UCAS closing date.
What does it cost to apply?
The UCAS application fee for 2013 entry
is £22 if you choose to apply to more than
one course, university or college. If you
only apply to one course at one university
or college, the application fee is £11.
Further details about payment amounts
and how to pay are available at
www.ucas.com
What if I want to apply for
deferred entry?
Many applicants to higher education who
take a gap year find this a valuable and
rewarding experience, as long as they use
their time constructively.
If you want to apply for deferred entry,
applications are made in the usual way, but
you should indicate on your UCAS form
that you are aiming to start your university
course in autumn 2014. The conditions of
any offer will, however, have to be met by
the summer of 2013.
How do I apply for
part-time study?
Many of our programmes are offered on
a part-time basis. To apply, please visit
our website where you will be able to
download a Direct Entry Application Form.
